MY FRIEND JOE LAMP’L (aka Joe Gardener) had watched my recent appearance at Swarthmore College’s Scott Arboretum, where I received their Scott Medal in March, and listened to my “acceptance speech,” if you could call it that. He invited me to join him on his latest podcast episode and reflect on my gardening life so far, as I had at Scott, and our conversation is on his website now. (Actually, truth be told I’m just posting this because it gives me an excuse to show you that photo of Joe, above, that I snitched from his Instagram feed. Um, what exactly is the story behind the eyewear choice, please?)
